Rev. Dr. Emmanuel Ariguma
Founder & Board Chair
Visionary leader with 25 years in Christian education across East Africa.
About
Our Story & Purpose
Founded with a vision to transform education in Uganda through Christ-centered, individualized learning.
Why We Exist
Raising a Generation of Godly Leaders
Ariguma ACE International School was born from a conviction that every child deserves an education that honors their individuality, nurtures their faith, and prepares them for global impact.
In a landscape where many schools prioritise age-based promotion over true understanding, we offer something different: the internationally proven ACE curriculum, delivered in a warm, Christ-centred community in Mbarara City, western Uganda.
Our founders — educators, pastors, and parents — united around a shared dream: to establish Uganda's leading ACE international school, serving families across western Uganda and the Great Lakes region with academic excellence and biblical character development.
